is it possible to lisent to music on steam? like a stand alone section somewhere on the site or Client?
This only works if the developers have properly set up a Soundtracks folder for the game now, but back in the day it would display ANY unencrypted audio files present in a game's folder, from sound effects to environmental ambience, so it was kind of a mess. It's ok now, but like I said I think very few people actually go out of their way to listen to their game soundtracks through Steam vs something like Youtube or Spotify, unless they're a real audiophile and only listen to music in FLAC or WAV format, but idk if the soundtracks provided on Steam typically even have that level of fidelity.
All in all, unless Steam enforced higher quality versions of soundtracks and a substantially robust environment allowing you to listen to them with greater ease than the competitors, I don't see it being worth the effort of doing more than just maintaining as a way to allow players to contribute a little extra money to the composers of a game's music.
